Newbie game Brown Coat vs. Stalingradsky

[Brown Coat]

Well, I lived up to the ‘newbie’ designation. I can’t believe I didn’t realize you could swamp moscow. . . I didn’t even bother to look around too much, just assumed that it wasn’t going to be a worry this soon. Hrm, at least the game won’t last long so I can try to redeem myself sooner….

[Brown Coat]

I’m at the Theatre tonight running the movie, so I may not get the next turn in until tomorrow…unless I can’t resist    :-D

[Stalingradski]

Well, I could have been nice and given you a chance, but playing online means we just start a new one, or keep playing this one to see what happens, or start another and have 2 going…  :-D

[Brown Coat]

Oh, we keep going with this one for at least awhile longer. It will give me a chance to get to know the interface better and get my head wrapped around it better. Off to work on the turn….

[Brown Coat]

Well that took awhile. I’m pretty slow on figuring this out still. Getting more used to the icons though…
I had to edit something - I was dumb and during the combat phase loaded a tank on the transport in the Arabian sea, but then offloaded it back to India when I realized I didn’t want to move it. Unfortunately, I offloaded it instead of cancelling or something so it must have shown the transport as having had a combat move and it wouldn’t let me move it during non combat. I edited the transport over to the red sea and the infantry in Ethiopia up to Egypt. Make sense?

[Stalingradski]

Even if it doesn’t make sense to me, it’s more a reflection on me than you…  :-)

I’m ok with whatever you did.

Onward!

[Stalingradski]

China is all yours. You are still at the helm, sir.

[Brown Coat]

well don’t I feel like a buffoon - here I’ve been waiting for YOU all day -fail!

[Stalingradski]

Let’s start a new one, unless you’re into pain  :-D  If you want to keep going, I’ll play.

The game you and I played at my house isn’t in this version… if you’re up for it, try the global 1940 Alpha 3. It is the best version so far, but also includes quite a few rules to learn. I don’t mind teaching as we go, in a non-competitive game.

[Brown Coat]

Ooops, missed that you mentioned it here…
so does " global 1940 Alpha 3" translate into “Big World 1942 v3 Rules”??

[Stalingradski]

It doesn’t.

It says World War II Global 1940 Alpha 3 in the “Choose Game” section. Check it out, and mess with the controls and rules, and I’ll start a new thread as the Axis as soon as I can -

I can’t believe we are talking on A&A.org in the evening, having business meetings the next day…  :-D

[Brown Coat]

Sadly mine doesn’t have that under choose game - let me go looking for it to download…but don’t let that stop you from doing the first turn  :wink:

[Brown Coat]

Found it! Downloading….

Not that you needed this update, but I was afraid you would spend time looking for it  instead of working on turn 1.

[Stalingradski]

I hear what you’re saying… get on it, Staligradski!

I forgot I needed to download it in the first place… seems like years ago.

Starting a game right now.
